New Delhi: India announces oen-day and T20 squad for Australia tour starting from January 12 next year.
After a staggering performance against South Africa in the Tests, Ravindra Jadeja has found favour with the selectors for a recall in the ODIs and T20s. The batting line up is identical to the one that took on South Africa in the recent home series. Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma are in as openers.
The middle order will have options like Manish Pandey, Gurkeerat Singh and Rishi Dhawan to chose from after the exclusion of Suresh Raina.
Allrounder Yuvraj Singh and fast bowler Ashish Nehra have both returned to India's T20I squad for the upcoming series against Australia. Yuvraj has not played for India since the 2014 World T20 final, while Nehra's last international game was in 2011.
India and Australia are set to play five ODIs and three T20Is starts from January 12 next year.
